Proving Hint a long career of con
Blstcnt fighting for measures tlint

tho people, and also sends the nam
of Oregon to tho top of tho column
In advanced legislation, tho following
extract from tho Portland Daily Jour
no! of Friday, February 22, 1912, not
only endorses tho progrosslvo poll
clcs of Hon Selling which nro now
lawB on tho statute books of Oregon
but It also shows beyond question tho
standing of this man among tho pco
plo and press of tho ntuto:
MR. SELLING
Senator Den 8elllnn has an
nounced his Intention to con
test for the Republican nomina
tlon for United States senator.
For a number of years the
political course of Mr. Selling
and The Journal have run along
much tho same lines. Support
of progressive methods of gov
ernment In Oregon when they
were badly In need of support,
brought Mr. Selling and The
Journal on common ground.
When there was need of
Statement One candidates for
the legislature, they were not
always easy to find. There was
a time when most of the higher
ups of the Republican party In
Oregon were, and soma of them
still arc, against Statement One.
It was In such a time that Mr.
Selling was a welcome addition
to the forces that were striving
for direct election of senator,
and for elimination of disgrace
ful deadlocks at Salem,
Without at all entering Into
the support of Mr. Selling's pres
ent candidacy, it Is as little as
The Journal can do to thus ack
nowledge the aid Mr. Selling
has been to the cause of popu
lar government In Oregon, an
acknowledgment that, In fair
ness, lo also due to Senator
Dourne.
SELLING iS THE
PROPER MAN
"Naturally, lion Boiling would he

"Ilo knows tho people of Oregon, and
his IntorestH nro lioro In tho ntnto,
He knows what tho people of Oregon

Illght In lino with that sontlmont
Is another, very Keuerolly oxprowiod,
to tho offeot tliRt while Mr. Selling"
has always bii one of the mottt pro

liuplacnbla foe of graft In all Its forum
ftecognUIng tho fact that all public
expenses must ho met from tho pock
ots of tho people, ho Bland firmly
against the waste of public money.
Oregon has gone forward amnzlngl
In the past twenty years; and It
every step o( Ita progress Hen Selllni
has been In the front rank of Oregon t
citizens. He has done his part. II
has borne his share of the burdont
and discharged his share, of the du
ties. He has asked no man to per
form his tasks.
The men who own homes, and the
men who pay in industry for the good
things of life, want to intrust their
public Interests to a man who has
always stood shoulder to shoulder
with them, who knows them and their
problems, and whose citizenship Is of
the sturdy character which asks no
special favors from any one.
Our people know Den Selling. They
have dealt with him for many years.
He has been fair with them, and they
can confidently trust him. Nachrich-

An Idol With Diamond Eyes.
It Is n curious fact and one scarcely

hardly ever mentioned, that tho fn

of tho priests nnd admission to tho
temple. Tho r. jiichinnn first sold tho
diamond for f.'.OOO. On tho next turn
It was bought by a banker of Con

SECOND SIGHT.

An Apparition That Was a Messenger
of Death.
Tho third Lord Teiuplctowu used to
tell of nn extraordinary and really au
thnntlc enso of second sight. Ills
brother, Henry Upton, tho second vis
count, wns with his regiment abroad
when ho nnd several brother olllcers
saw, an old friend wearing trousers
nud shirt only pnss through the mess
room to another room from which
thero wns no outlet. They followed
nnd saw nobody, and the sentry per
slsted that no person had entered.
Henry Upton wroto to his brother,
nfterwnrd third viscount, to request
him to go to their friend's lodgings In
London nnd And out what ho was do
tug nt such nnd such an hour on n cer
tain day. Tho brother in London com
piled nnd found that their friend hud
died, but not on tho day he had been
seen abroad.
Later tho lnudlndy was asked on
oath as to tho dnto nnd hour of death
and whether he had died in n white
shirt with n bluo check. After some
demur sho confessed that her lodger
did not dlo when she first slntod, but
on tho day when his friends lind seen
him pass through tho mess room.
It seems the dnto of demise had
been falsified on account of tils pen
slon, which wns almost nil his family
had to depend upon. And ho died In
n whlto shirt with n bluo check, his
landlady having lent one of her litis
bnnd's to him on tho morning of lils
death. London Court Journal.
SHE WANTED LIGHT.
And 80 She Had the Windows Fixed
Exaotly to Her Taste.

man was lu favor of medium, sized
windows, with small panes to mutch

know whether I cntt boo my hnml be

"but 1 am In tho houso most of tho
tlmo and must Imvo plenty of light
and sunshine"
So they had big windows. Before
tho carpenter left sho ordered Inside
shutters put up. Tho family's llrst
night In their now homo was cele
brated by adjusting two sets of win
dow shades, ouo while, the other dark
green, which served as n background
for two pairs of curtain, onu of silk
tho other of lace. On tho third day
tho man helped his wlfo to hang nddl

"lie n Just getting ready Mo put up

Absinth.

Ita peculiar noxiousness to tho fact
that It Is prepared with several es
sonces, among them wormwood, which
have marked toxic properties. Added
to the action of the alcohol la strong
absinth contains 03 per cent) these
essences Imvo a most deleterious ef
fect on tho organisms, especially on

kinds of alcoholic liquors, Dundee

For County Assessor
I will give personal attention to the office. You will find
me on the job all the time.
Expenses of the Assessor's office have increased 272 per
cent since 1903. I will separate the office from politics,
and that will save the taxpayers' money.
I will not permit deputy assessors to pass out election cards
and campaign literature enclosed in assessment blanks.
I will conduct the Assessor's office according to law. No
juggling with the assessment roll.
I will make the Assessor's office an open book to the tax
payers. No star-chamber proceedings go with me.
Multnomah County assessments have been increased at the
rate of nearly 30 per cent a year since 1904. Assess
ments climb year after year, and the tax rate climbs
with them. The tax burden falls heavily upon all
classes of people, but heaviest upon the little home
owner. I think the time has come to investigate these
heavy increases and see what justifies them. What
do you think?
I believe in economy in public expense, but not in parsi
mony. We cannot tax ourselves rich, but we can tax
ourselves poor. Therefore, I am opposed to excessive
increases in assessments and excessive taxes. If you
, believe as I do, vote for me in the primaries on April 19.
Multhonlah County has been my home for forty-one years.
I pay taxes on land as well as on personal property.
